Jordy Nelson ranks as one of the greatest receivers in Packers history

I think it’s likely that Jordy Nelson is no worse than the 4th best Green Bay Packers receiver ever, and he is almost certainly the best modern Packer receiver. Some might “stan” for Greg Jennings, but while Jennings did average a slightly higher yards per catch, Nelson was right there with him and caught a far higher percentage of passes. Some might make a case for the justifiably beloved Donald Driver, who had better longevity and a great story, but he lacked Nelson’s peak. Antonio Freeman should probably get a mention as the most dominant receiver of the Favre era, but his arc was similar to Nelson’s, and not quite as impressive.
